Support Staff Retirement System

 

The Vermont Municipal Employees' Retirement System is a uniform, state-administered pension plan provided for municipal employees of the State of Vermont.  It was established effective July 1, 1975 and is governed by Title 24, Vermont Statutes Annotated, Chapter 125.

Retirement coverage extends to the following classification of employees:

  • Employees of a school district who work on a regular basis for not less than 30 hours a week and for not less than 1040 hours for the school year.
  • All other municipal employees who work on a regular basis for not less than 24 hours per week and for not less than 1040 hours in a year.

Employees in these areas must join the system as a condition of employment immediately upon date of hire.

Support staff in the Colchester School District are members of Group A.  Currently, Group A members contribute 2.5% of gross salary.  In addition, the school district contributes 4% of the employee's gross salary.
